Glitter Gal

Glitter Gal is an Australian brand which designs good quality cosmetics at an affordable price. What I’ve tried are pencils (Eye brow and Lip pencils), but they also have lip glosses, nail polishes, gift sets…

I love the packaging of the pencils. They’ve called these “Safari Range”, because the packaging is of zebra stripes, as you can see in the photos.

These pencils are $6.95 (about 5.40€), which is a really cheap price for the quality they have. The trace is very precise and even, not like, for example, one I had from Essence (I don’t know exactly the name…I threw it away) which didn’t paint at all…it was awful. The trace wasn’t even at all and it didn’t pigment too much…

I have Dark Brown, which I’ve found perfect for my brows. I haven’t tried the other colours, so I can’t say if Light brown would suit blonde brows…

I find really useful the sharpener which comes with it, because I always have my sharpeners from box to box, and I never know where they are. So this way I know that the sharpener is there and it won’t move.

This lip pencil only comes in this shade: Pout pink / Honey brown. But it’s suitable for a big range of lipstick shades.

Pout pink can be used with pinkish shades and Honey brown with nudes, browns…

They’re really easy to blur, which I’ve found really useful, because I don’t like my lips to be delineated. I don’t like at all that lips which are delineated with a dark pencil and then filled with a lighter shade.
